On St Andrew's Day the 30th November 2022
Divisive politics is harming Scotland and ordinary people are suffering. We need an alternative to the SNP and not a Scottish version of a Westminster party. We need representatives who can UNITE us to answer the independence question, or make the UK work for our Country.

UNIFY for an Independent Scotland
The Unify Party will have more to say on what is being promoted to voters as the truth and the endless empty promises or failures of our current crop of politicians.
The purpose of this website is not promote a manifesto. It is to introduce Unify, discuss independence, call out our present Government and Westmister parties.
Frustration with out of touch politicians, the cost of living, jobs, our economy, housing, our NHS and immigration are key issues affecting Scottish voters. - Add the continued misinformation and it's no wonder our Country NEEDS CHANGE and voters want a NEW PARTY to challenge "THE SNP"
The question that must be answered by Scottish voters!
Let's ask the difficult questions that need to be answered and then put the case for each argument. - Does Scotland still have the desire to be independent? - Can it ever be truly independent? - Is the majority there and if it is will Scots vote for a New Party who will FIGHT for it?
Please read on..
UNIFY asks - THE BIG QUESTION!
United Kingdom or Independence
Independence or remain in the United Kingdom, we address the elephant in the room. We have debated this question for decades, we had a referendum and the decision was to remain yet Scotland is no further forward. - Thank you SNP.
Unify has a clear "SCOTLAND FIRST" position. We wish to UNIFY Scotland (not divide it) and bring together candidates who will best represent us. Whether Scotland wants to remain in an independent United Kingdom, or wants independence we will deliver for Scotland. - But we need your help to vote in UNIFY candidates to begin to transform the Scottish Parliament!
SNP - RIP!
The SNP pay lip service but they will never be able to deliver independence, and they know it. They know their support is dwindling, so use Brexit as a foil. Scottish voters have no wish to be dragged back into the EU - This is NOT Independence!.
They are an inept Government who have abdicated the reason that gave them the mandate of the people and have pursued a neo-liberal woke agenda. They have badly managed the public purse and our public services. The SNP have become an embarrassment to Scotland, they have taken the Scottish public for fools for too long - And it's Time They Went!
Unify's Independence Question
Unify Scotland asks the question - What kind of independence is to be had by going cap in hand to unelected bureaucrats in the EU and have them rule over us again?. What kind sovereignty is this for a new and independent Scotland going forward?.
Is this a Scotland ready to become a Nation Once Again?
That we would find we are again ruled by foreign nationals and foreign courts - Unable to broker new Trade Agreements and shackled inside a federalist European Union?
Independence and a new economy
Global trade and being able to negotiate trade deals has always been important and no more so for an independent Scotland. The European Union is not what it once was, it is a shrinking economy. The truth is, like it or not Scotland's biggest trading partner is the rest of the UK, not Europe.
Scotland needs to be proactive to grow, it needs to form trade deals with new expanding economies not go backwards and become lost in the European Union. Becoming part of the European Free Trade Association [EFTA] would give us an advantage that would NOT be afforded us if we we went back into the European Union.
Independence by a better route
Should there be a way to control migration quotas Unify could favour joining Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland as a European Free Trade Association [EFTA] member which would allow us access to the European Economic Area (EEA) to trade in Europe whilst pursuing trade relations with third countries beyond Europe. EFTA has 30 Free Trade Agreements FTAs covering 41 countries and territories outside the EU.
EFTA rules enables goods, services, capital, and people to move freely about the EEA in an open and competitive environment, a concept referred to as the four freedoms. With continued trade with England it could become the Unify Party preferred route.
European Free Trade Association
The joint negotiation of free trade agreements (FTAs) with partners outside the European Union (EU) allows EFTA to actively pursue its objective of creating trade opportunities for its operators and generate growth in its member economies.
Politics has to change, for the future of our children!
Can Scotland be independent?
The only way at this point to go forward as a truly sovereign nation is to remain as part of the United Kingdom.
The next best option is for Scotland to join a bloc of other successful independents like Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland and seek membership of the European Free Trade Association [EFTA].
The worst option for Scotland would be to go back into a federalist state that is the European Union.
The Need for Political Transparency
Should Scotland wish to stay in the Union or wish to seek some kind of independence we intend to deliver for Scotland. Should the electorate require clarification Unify in line with their people-led credentials would seek a 'people's mandate' from the people.
Unify would propose Single Agenda National Poll to be held to ask the Scottish Electorate these simple questions:
Do you wish to remain in a independent United Kingdom?
YES or NO?
Do you wish independence from United Kingdom?
YES or NO?
People-Power for Scotland
Scotland needs to create a true People Party, a party that reflects the politics of today. - Something that the majority of people are searching for. - Something that people can believe in and will want to support. - Something that everyone (can be a part of), vote for, or represent.
Not because of the school they went to, or who they know. We need Local Champion candidates who know the problems within their communities, who understand the importance of regeneration in Scottish towns, how front-line services, local economies and local job creation cannot be underestimated. - We need to transform the Scottish Parliament!
"Politics is easy if you stay true to your word – and the people who elected you! - Jim McIlroy"
The Dangers Ahead
Labour, Not Again!
Labour may (win in England) but Scotland must send a message that the majority of voters WANT POLITICS TO CHANGE!
Be aware of Labour becoming the benefactor at the ballot box for if that were to happen we would still be ruled by Westminster. Remember before the SNP, Labour were in power in Scotland and nearly ruined our Country, I remember it (all too well) in my home town of PAISLEY. - We need a SCOTTISH PARTY, not a Westminster (second-team) doing the will of SIR Keir Starmer.
The Conservatives - No thanks
My personal experience of the Conservatives, whether in Scotland or England is: - They are everything you think they are and some things you do not want them to be.
This Westminster Government has let the Country down and there is now an irreparable disconnect. - Immigration is causing a 'people explosion' affecting our communities and the lives of our citizens. Taxes are crippling, businesses are suffering, the cost-of-living crisis, the state of the NHS, people using foodbanks and energy costs at unacceptable levels, yet utlility companies pay dividends to their shareholders. People no longer support this government and Unify intends to debunk (your priorities are our priorities). - We say they're not!
Political change is happening
Look around us: - All over Europe (New Parties) are WINNING elections, and deposing established parties who have been found to be wanting, serving their own interests, or the interests of corporations, banks, financial institutions and NOT the people.
We love our parents and our grandparents of course we do but following the way they voted is NOT the way forward. - Labour, Conservatives and the SNP have failed voters time-and-again. Its time to change politics and move with the times to establish a new for-the-people, by-the-people party and the let the establishment know a NEW POLITICAL ERA has arrived.
Immigration, asylum and illegal migration
While we all understand how immigration can benefit any country, we are at a tipping point. We are a small island and we simply cannot cope any longer with the numbers crossing the channel or by other means. Bogus asylum clams and illegal migration makes a mockery of our Courts and this must be addressed. We need to urgently introduce the much talked about points-based system for everyone wishing to come to our Country and we must prioritise the deportation of those who should not be here.
Unify believes that politics should no longer be elitist, or determined by (manufactured) party division. - That it's time for a long overdue change. - It's time to put 'real people' who understand local economies and local job creation in place, if we are to achieve true levelling-up. - The Unify Party says it's time for Scotland First, Common Sense Politics for a 21st Century Scotland!
Working together a [UNIFIED] Scotland CAN Change Politics in Scotland for the BETTER!
"Support UNIFY and help deliver a new era of people-led politics for everyone in Scotland."
"UNIFY believes the SNP has divided our people, our communities and our Country, and it has NOT delivered on its mandate, so it is time for SCOTLAND TO COME TOGETHER and decide "OUR FUTURE".
That the CONSERVATIVES might lose to LABOUR in the General Election but if we allow that to happen in (SCOTLAND) we will suffer (MORE OF THE SAME POLITICS) for another 5-years under a WESTMINSTER LABOUR PARTY.
That Scotland can be independent (IF IT IS THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY), or we need a NEW BREED of politician who will ensure Westminster treats Scotland as an equal partner and Holyrood works better for SCOTLAND.
Either way we need a better Government in Edinburgh working on behalf of the people to restore our pride and bring success to Scotland. - It's time to believe in OURSELVES, to prepare to change Scottish Politics and VOTE FOR IT!"
